Comment on XCancel and Nitter: Why bother with US Law?

If they do not care about any users from there, and do not take money from there (for example from ads) they can show them the finger.

What’s the basis for this? (More specifically: is this from a specific jurisdiction?)

What’s the basis for this?

The simple principle that a country’s law is in force in this country, while in another country it is that other country’s law. It is also called sovereignty.

  The US doesn’t respect sovereignty. Hence our sanctions regimes, embargoes, and charging people that have never been to the united states or done business with it with crimes and extraditing them. Ie, people for drugs in latin america that never did business with americans.

    That doesn’t change the principle of sovereignty.
    Usa has yet to learn.

  Sorry, I meant more specifically about the dependency on users and income.

    Most specifically, 1 + 1 = 2.

    Look, you obviously aren’t obligated to answer but it feels like you are taking my question as an insult or picking a fight. I really just want to fill the gaps in my knowledge so that I can be better informed.
